we need to be taught disability history in school because it is 2019, i am 20 years old, and i am only now learning that the National Association of the Deaf had to take Netflix to court in 2012 in order for closed captioning to be required on streaming sites (source). any amount of accessibility in our lives has been fought for, and those stories need to be told.

Hulu was just taken to court in 2018 in order for audio descriptions to be included in their services for blind users (source)

access is a constant battle, and is nowhere near universal
